What is typically one of life's most stressful experiences became incredibly seamless, smooth, enjoyable and, dare we say, even fun! From the moment we met Dana and the team at an open house, we knew we had to work with them. Their authenticity, warmth, and knowledge of the Lamorinda market was unmatched. More importantly, they genuinely care about and are invested in their clients. We never felt like we were just another transaction. Every member of their team cared about helping our family find the perfect home while maximizing the value of the home we were selling and ensuring a quick, successful close. Marisol, Brad and Allison were absolutely amazing from the start of our home buying journey - really getting to know us, our needs, and helping us navigate the market. They guided us through every step of the process with patience, honesty, and incredible expertise. Somehow they knew (even before we did), that our dream home was within reach. They encouraged us to tour it, and the minute we pulled up, we knew it was the one. They helped us strategize quickly and execute seamlessly securing the home we are so lucky to call ours today. It was the easiest decision to then call on their help for our second transaction and sell of our first home in record time, making the entire process feel effortless from start to finish. The Dana Green Team exceeded every expectation we had and then some. Their professionalism, market expertise, communication, and genuine care are truly second to none. We are so grateful to have had them by our side throughout our journey. Wish we had more stars to give - this team is simply exceptional and will always hold a very special place in our hearts!

Exceptional support from Mary - the ultimate Attorney and Broker…read more I am writing this review to share my incredible experience working with Mary during a complex partition case. Having someone who is both a skilled Attorney and a licensed Broker on your side is a massive advantage, and Mary exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, she was an absolute anchor for me through a stressful and emotional time in my life. She expertly guided me through every single contract, deadline and tough decisions. Navigating complex legal paperwork, real estate logistics, and critical timelines can be incredibly stressful, but Mary made the entire process seamless. She stayed ahead of every deadline, explained the process clearly and provided the guidance I needed to make confident decisions. Mary brings a perfect blend of professional expertise and genuine care to her work. From day one, I always felt prioritized, informed, and completed protected. Looking ahead, I have absolute confidence in Mary moving forward and will undoubtedly trust her with any future needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone for a powerhouse advocate!

Mary, your response contains inaccurate claims. You did not secure a win for my case; the record…read moreshows I did not win, and you formally withdrew your representation two weeks before the appeal date. The agreement was a flat $2,000 fee for complete representation. After posting this review, you finally sent me my invoice, yet after withdrawing and failing to appear at court, you issued a surprise, inflated invoice for an additional $1,316.50 without providing the required immediate notice for extra communication outlined in Section 2 of our contract. Clients deserve transparent communication, not abandonment right before a hearing

She was also honest and very detail oriented, suggesting and helping us implement repairs and changes that made the sale of the house seamless. She has a full network of contractors / painters / landscapers / etc so the whole process was easy. Anya was also so great to work with too; helping us with inspections, staging, and making aesthetic updates to the house. They truly go above and beyond on what's expected from a realtor, and we are grateful for everything they did for us!

Lisa and Kristi are a wonderful team. We bought and sold a house with them over the past (3)…read moremonths and we couldn't have done it without them. For the purchase of our new home... 1) Lisa and Kristi have an amazing network. We needed to put in an offer in a single day and they mobilized their network to get us pre-approved for a loan, insurance secured, and a few last minute visits to the house for 'mini-inspections'. 2) Lisa and Kristi have access to tons of 'pocket listings'. They are part of Compass, which runs most of the listings in our area, but they are well-connected w/ the broader real estate community to understand what's coming, what are the details, and what is a fair price. 3) Lisa and Kristi have great knowledge of what to look out for. There were more than a couple things that they caught, which saved us time, money, and headaches. For the sale of our existing home... 1) They keep a pulse on the market, which shifted in the (2) months between when we bought and when we sold. The level of pricing insight was essential to have a successful outcome, and much better than any ChatGPT analysis :) 2) They know what buyers are looking for, which then drives how they prep and stage the houes. They were very communicative, open to ideas / suggestions, and timely. 3) They understand how home selling works, and paced us to ensure that we set offer dates, reviewed bids, and asked for more when it made sense. All in all, they are a great team that complements each other well. We went from home viewing to offer accepted in 5 days for our purchase, and we went from listing to accepted bid in 5 days on our sale.

From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and super pleasant to work with. They provided excellent guidance on pricing, home preparation, and staging. We trusted their advice completely, and it paid off--we ended up getting more for our home than we anticipated. It is clear that their expertise in strategy and prep made all the difference. Beyond the results, they were just great to handle the process with. They are responsive, proactive, and always do exactly what they say they will. If you are looking for agents who really know what they are doing, I advise you to trust Kristi and Lisa. We couldn't be happier!

When I heired Renee, I was surprised to learn so much about selling and buying homes such as the benefits of fixing or repairing some parts and some to leave alone. Renee had hired cleaners, roof inspector, electric contractor, termite inspector and more in the first few days.

Working with Judy really gave us an edge over other buyers. She helped us land the home we were…read moretruly searching for at a price we could afford. I am certain we wouldn't have gotten our home without Judy as our agent. I've dealt with numerous agents on both coasts of the U.S. Judy is by far the hardest-working one I've had so far. Like, head and shoulders above the rest. I could text her early in the morning or late at night, and she responded quickly to my questions! We were in constant contact, and she pushed when it was appropriate, gave us room when we needed, and was always honest about what to expect. She is an expert on the East Bay market in Northern California. While most agents will simply set up an e-mail alert and hope you buy something, Judy is actively looking for off-market properties and running a market analysis based on recent sales so her buyers have a realistic chance of winning their bids. We recently purchased a home pre-listing, avoiding the feeding frenzy that buyers are facing for every home in the suburbs. This is because Judy was able to set up an appointment the day before the house went on the market and discern what the seller wanted, which allowed us to make a competitive offer the very next day. She aggressively negotiated terms on our behalf. What makes this deal even better is that her relationships with local mortgage brokers allowed us to find better financing that we were able to find on our own, saving us even more money. Throughout our home buying process she was helpful, knowledgeable and patient. She pays attention to the small details and anticipates the future problems and needs of her clients. For instance, she helped us select a home warranty based on the experience and feedback of her clients and even arranged a free rekeying service. These small things take a lot of the burden and stress of buying a home off the buyer. She really is a full-service broker. Highly recommended.

Figuring out where to live, when to buy, staging, hauling--I mean, this gal knows her stuff. AND she's so good at explaining it to you like you're four--without making you feel like you're four! She's savvy and sharp and has your best interests in mind. Choosing Linette (and her team) is a no-brainer. And for people like me, that really matters. So if you're looking for a badass real estate agent who also throws amazing parties, stop looking. You found her.

My husband and I met Paddy just once, found our home that same day, put in an offer the next, and…read moremoved into our "forever" home within a month. Needless to say, Paddy is incredibly efficient and truly knows how to seal the deal. Here are the highlights of our experience working with him: 1. Excellent Communication: From my very first inquiry, Paddy was prompt and responsive. We started with a phone call to review our needs, and he quickly followed up with listings that fit our criteria. By the time we met in person, he already had a clear, deep understanding of exactly what we wanted in a home. 2. Area & Structural Knowledge: Paddy isn't a "how does this home make you feel?" kind of realtor. He understands how houses are built and knows the pros and cons of specific neighborhoods. Even if a property doesn't check every single box, he helps you visualize how to modify the space to make it perfect for your future. 3. Honesty: When my husband showed interest in one particular house, Paddy immediately pointed out its flaws and flat-out told us he wouldn't sell it to us because it would become a headache. He never tried to rush a sale; his priority was ensuring we bought a high-quality home we would truly love. 4. Resourceful: Even though we found our home on day one, Paddy remained actively involved throughout the entire closing process. He helped coordinate repairs before our move-in date and connected us with two of his recommended service providers, both of whom have been phenomenal. 5. He Knows How to Win: At the end of the day, if Paddy is on your side, you WILL win. We were up against another buyer for our home, but Paddy guided us to secure the winning bid while staying comfortably within our budget. In fact, we bought the home under asking. I remember asking him, "Do you think we have a chance of getting the home?" His response: "Yes, because I'm your agent." He was right. He's simply the BEST!

I've worked in real estate for 30 years, and Saraya and Simon are simply the best. Put as much work into picking your broker as you do buying your house. If you want to talk, please contact me.
